“Underrated gem”

Jan 12, 2013Paul W, Greensboro

Our business group was unfamliiar with the hotels in Columbia, with the exception of some downtown locations. In looking for alternatives, we went so far as to book at another business chain, but the administrative assistant locally advised us that we should try the Wingate. I was extremely happy that she did. The location that we had considered turned out to be not up to the standards that we had expected, but the Wingate hit it out of the ballpark. From the time we drove up, we were pleasantly surprised, from the exterior, to the extremely friendly, helpful and efficient folks at the front counter, to the ambience of the lobby. The rooms were minisuites, spotless, comfortable, immaculate and well-provisioned (microwave and mini fridge, flatscreen tv, free wifi). The hot breakfast each morning was excellent with a wonderful assortment of choices. The rate was great, checkout was completely effortless, and to top it all off, one of our party inadvertently left some clothing articles there, and the staff at the hotel called her cellphone to let her know. We were able to retrieve them easily and be on our way.I would definitely stay here again and recommend to other travellers to Columbia. It also makes me look at Wingate as a choice for other travel, both business and leisure, in the future.
